Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 2:46 pmWill, with Robin strapped to her chest in one of those papoose thingies, you know the kind I'm talking about, was vacuuming and singing. Loudly, of course, to be heard over the vacuum.

Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 2:56 pmRobin meanwhile seems to be enjoying herself profusely, mostly by reaching for Will's chin and trying to 'slap' it while she's singing.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 3:00 pmThis just encourages Will to dance more and sing more...and slowly extend her neck just sliiiiightly further up.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 3:16 pmRobin laughs at the increased bouncing and, after a while, manages to hit Will's chin again, having extended her arm just a bit.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 3:25 pm"Good girl," Will smiled down, moving her neck JUST out of range again, after letting Robin hit it a few times. "C'mon, try and get Daddy."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 3:35 pm"Dah!" she laughs and hits Will on the nose as she over-reaches.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 3:36 pm"Excellent" Will laughs. "Well played!"
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 3:57 pm"If you keep teaching her tricks then you're the one who gets to baby-proof the kitchen cabinets." Sara chuckles as she watches the two from the door.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 3:57 pm"Spoil-sport," Will teased. "She's getting really good!"
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 4:03 pm"She's a natural."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 4:05 pm"She'll be rescuing us in a few years, just you wait and see."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 4:24 pm"No X-Man stuff till she's at least, like, 30." Sara nods.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 4:27 pm"Yes, ma'am," Will teased. "You heard her, Robin."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 4:29 pm"Oh like you'd rest easy for even a second if she actually went out there." she chuckles.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 4:30 pm"Yeah, not a chance in hell."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 5:23 pm"But it's good she's exploring things. Makes me worry less about finding a puddle in the crib one day."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 5:35 pm"Well, other than the usual kind."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 5:37 pm"Well that's a different problem." she chuckles.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 5:39 pm"But yeah. She's gonna be a little minx in a few years. We'll have to X-Team just to stay in shape to catch up to her."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 5:49 pm"No one warned me about that!"
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 5:57 pm"Watch when she turns three."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 6:10 pm"At least that's what everyone always prophecises." she chuckles.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 6:28 pm"Indeed," she chuckled.
"So--what's up?"
"So--what's up?"
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 6:40 pm"Not much. I'm still not really getting anywhere with the whole growth thing."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 6:44 pm"What's the problem?"
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 6:48 pm"I don't even know. I have the signal that should induce it but it just doesn't react to it."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Fri Jul 27, 2012 7:16 pm"Does ANYTHING happen?"
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 4:34 am"No. That's the ting. If you modulate it a bit you get the usual random shapes but that's it."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 11:50 am"Huh. That seems...odd."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 12:01 pm"Yeah. It feels like something is missing but I have no idea what."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 2:13 pm"Maybe it's a certain Je Nous Se Qua," Will smirked.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 2:19 pm"That's just almost-french for 'I don't know'."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 2:23 pmWill chuckled. "Well, it SOUNDS more impressive."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 2:39 pm"I'm just not sure if they're gonna be happy with that answer." she chuckles.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 4:59 pm"Well, let's think. What HAVEN'T you tried?"
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 5:06 pm"Lots of things. Could be some kind of chemical, like a neuro-transmitter or something or... I dunno. Signaling at that speed usually means nerves..."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 5:08 pm"Maybe you just need, like, ACTIVE nerves. I mean, your sample's a few days old, now."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 5:16 pm"They usually keep for longer. But it's worth trying."
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 5:56 pm"I'll go down with you and we'll see what we can do," Will smiled.
Re: Chez Stanton
Posted: Sat Jul 28, 2012 6:48 pm"Thanks. And how hard can it be if a baby can figure it out, right?" she smiles, gently poking Robin's nose.
